The Best Family and Multi-Gen Lodges

Family & Multi-Gen is about easy togetherness in wild places. Think private villas and family tents where grandparents, parents and kids spread out in comfort, a dedicated guide and vehicle that match game drives to nap windows, child-friendly menus that land when you need them, and pools and shady decks for long afternoon pauses. Transfers are simple, days are flexible, and activities scale for every age, from gentle “bug walks” and beading to longer big-cat drives and stargazing.

The Best Tented Camps

Best Tented Camps is our love letter to canvas and campfire. Think wide verandas that breathe with the wind, night sounds drifting through gauze, and mornings that begin with real coffee as the first light finds fresh tracks. Comfort is effortless but never fussy, with proper beds, hot showers, and guides who read the bush like a book. From reed lined waterways to lion rich savannas, these camps keep you close to the wild and wrap every day in starlight and story.

The Best Lodges for Photography

Best for Photography is built around light, patience, and access. Think first light on fresh tracks, long golden hours with unhurried time on a single sighting, and guides who understand angles, backgrounds, and when to wait. Expect eye-level hides and waterholes, vehicles set up with beanbags and charging points, and the option of a private vehicle when you want full control. Midday becomes download and edit time, sunset turns the bush to honey, and clear nights open to Milky Way sessions on the deck.
